Jason Steele makes the first save of the shootout, stopping Mateo Kovačić and giving Brighton an opening. Then Gerónimo Rulli turns the ending Manchester City's way.
CBS Sports Golazo's extended Carabao Cup highlights follow City through a tie in which Brighton twice take the lead, only to leave the Etihad eliminated on penalties. The video drew nearly 300,000 views in six hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a regular upload.
Before the goalkeepers settle it, Brighton give City plenty to recover from. Malick Yalcouyé puts away a rebound, Kovačić answers with a low shot into the corner, and Georginio Rutter restores Brighton's advantage after the break. Rayan Cherki's deflected free kick brings City level again. Even then, Yankuba Minteh comes narrowly short of a stoppage-time winner for Brighton.
The comments pick up on both sides of that narrow escape: Cherki's contribution, Rulli's saves and Brighton's performance, including acknowledgment from people identifying themselves as City supporters. Some also want more angles of the goals rather than replays of other passages of play.
The cup interest extends beyond this match. Golazo's Fleetwood Town-Arsenal highlights also drew an unusually large audience, alongside several clips discussing Arsenal's exit. Bournemouth-Aston Villa highlights had a strong start too. But here, the closing image belongs to Rulli: the goalkeeper rescuing City's defense of the trophy after Brighton had repeatedly threatened to end it.
